Christmas

We had a great Christmas! All the kids are happy! Mom and Dad are happy!

Hanna's Baptism

Hanna turned 8 on November 30th and then got baptised on December 1st. She was so excited and made a count down chart 100 days before. She was lucky enough to be baptised at the same time as her cousin Mallori who is 8 days older than her. She went shopping for her dress with Grandma Carter and then shopping for special jewelry with Grandma Karen. Grandma Melling braided both girls hair and it was perfect because it looked just as great after the baptism as it did when we got to the church. The kids all sang "When I am baptised" and they sounded great. After the baptism we had a dinner at the church. When we got to the church and started taking pictures we realized that the memory card was home in the computer, so we had my sister bring it. By the time she got there we only took the important pictures and I forgot to get any with her siblings. Oh well, it was an amazing day.

One of my ancestors on my moms side is William Maddison Wall and there is a statue of him in Heber, UT. My parents wanted the whole family to see the statue and learn about him. His life was amazing. We stood around the statue and read some of his stories for about 10 minutes and then we headed over to the "fun slide" where we tried to get as many grandkids in a train as possible.

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving my parents took the whole family (which is now 37 people -24 grandkids) to the Homestead by Park City. It was so much fun and the food was amazing. Scott had mostly crab legs for dinner. Hanna said, "mom I love this place!". I think that was when she was headed to the dessert table.

Carter said he didn't want dinner, just root beer. And he brought a string cheese from our room. String cheese/crab legs its a tough decision for a two year old.
These two look like they've eaten their fair share!
Everyone I could grab for a picture as we were leaving.
